Apib asks Lula to withdraw Bolsonaro’s bill – 02/13/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

The Apib (Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil) is going to send to the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) this Monday (13) a technical note asking for the withdrawal and filing of the bill (PL) 191, which provides for the regulation of economic activities on indigenous lands.

The proposal, which was sent by the Executive in February 2022, during the government of Jair Bolsonaro (PL), is being processed in the Chamber of Deputies. Apib argues that the PL is one of the main threats to “the rights recognized to indigenous peoples in the Constitution”.

Called “x-tudo”, the project deals with the regulation of mining, tourism, livestock, exploitation of water resources and oil and gas in indigenous lands.

“The Brazilian State must respect and provide subsidies so that indigenous peoples can fully exercise their cultures, this implies guaranteeing territorial integrity”, says the note.

The document also mentions the effects of illegal land mining.

The Lula government (PT) declared a public health emergency on the 20th, after the president received images of indigenous people with severe malnutrition. He paid a visit to Roraima the next day, which highlighted the explosion in cases of malnutrition, diseases associated with hunger (such as diarrhea and respiratory infections) and malaria.

As shown to sheeta, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) extended until May the partial opening of the airspace of the Yanomami Indigenous Land, in Roraima, for the voluntary departure of miners. Now they have the possibility to leave the region until the 6th of May.

The measure is part of Operation Yanomami Shield, launched on the 31st, when President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) published a decree expanding the power of action of the ministries of Defense, Health, Social Development and Social Assistance, Family and Combat Hunger and Indigenous Peoples, in addition to predicting the creation of Zida.
